- jessaustin 10y agoBy the same process in which Amazon has sold counterfeit NoStarch books, Amazon could also sell counterfeit "Basics" products. At this point, we're pretty sure it has something to do with commingling...
- chipperyman573 10y agoWhy would Amazon let anyone sell an Amazon Basics product? It's not a "Basics" category, it's the "Amazon Basics" brand. Nobody else could produce those.
- mjevans 10y agoIf they aren't the only alternative that comes to my mind is someone /buys/ an actual Amazon Basics product, doesn't open it, and somehow sells it elsewhere while 'returning' a counterfeit product or defective unit to the inventory. However if they (Amazon) are doing their job then the risk to reward ratio should be far too high on this.
- jessaustin 10y agoHey man, sometimes the system just does what you tell it to do, rather than what it should have known you meant. b^)
- ansible 10y agoIf Amazon doesn't have good controls to prevent people from selling fake Apple products, I wouldn't assume they have good internal controls to prevent the seeking off their own products either.
